Sunday
We got up early – about 6am to sit on the veranda and watch the sun rising and listening to all the animal noises! We were picked up about 7.30am and went on a game drive – It was good to start with as we saw Giraffe sitting on the ground and eating out of trees – then the mist came down and the rain – so we saw some other small animals but not much. We then went for breakfast and it was a fry up with coffee. It was very nice – and filled out a nice hole. After this we went back to the main HQ, seeing a rhino on route. I got back the car keys and we left for Port Elizabeth – it took about 1 hour and we arrived just in time for coffee. We are staying with Marlene’s sister – Janet and her husband Rob. They are very nice and friendly and hospitable. Janet had a full roast dinner waiting for us – and it was excellent.
We spent the afternoon showing watching photo’s and dvds. In the evening we went to the Congregational Church - and it lasted 45 mins. The sermon was on Genesis 2:7-9 and the these was Mess or Message. Is your life a message or a mess.
We then came back to the house. It is pouring with rain, and has been very windy, but they need the rain down here. Linda watched a film whilst I played with the computer.
Monday
We got up about 7am – typical because we don’t have to get up we can’t sleep! We drank tea and sat in the living room and read. About 10am we had breakfast – bacon and eggs – very filling. Its an easy day today so – we don’t have to rush around.
There are some weaver birds building a nest in the garden so Linda is watching them. We have been out today for a drive – and then had a coffee. We visited Janet and Rob’s son tonight – and then back to the house for a braai (BBQ) – very nice steak
